If you happen to be an Xbox Insider on PC, Xbox has recently launched a brand-new feature called game hubs. This is also accessible to a subset of Xbox App users.
This is a new way to connect with your Xbox game library on the computer - allowing you to track progress, discover the latest content and add-ons, connect and compete with friends, get news updates from developers, easily track achievements, "and more".
"Game hubs were built on your feedback around depth, progression, and more ways to connect with your games...You can access game hubs from the Xbox App on PC — just click on the game in your library or the left sidebar."
It's apparently "just the beginning" - with another wave of updates "coming soon" which will also allow you to view local game captures and browse other games.
The hub even allows you to see data from 'HowLongToBeat' to get a better idea of playtime or compare runs to the rest of the community. You can learn more on Xbox Wire.

A feature that I would like is to have a correct gameplay time between games played on Xbox and pc.
They'll have to do a lot more than that to make me use their app over Steam, its embarrassing how far behind this and Epic are. Both of whom seem scared to design something to be useful on a desktop
Isn't that already on console?
@carlos82 it's trash, isn't it? If Game Pass wasn't a thing, I'd never touch the Xbox app on PC.
Cool. I'm glad they are trying to reach feature parity between console and PC. It's a nice touch that encourages that they want the experience streamlined wherever you play.
I still really like that they added the "how it plays on your machine" feature, though it is a little hit or miss with some titles. (On my ROG Ally anyway)
Game Hubs?
Didn't WiiU have this?
